Liu Qianwen and Zhao Ling'er did it because Nangong Haotian tried his best to open up the Ren and Du channels for them, while Shangguan Xiaowan practiced the martial arts in the first half of the secret book, so they are naturally quite strong.
But they are all careful people, and they will naturally not do anything that would make Aunt Shan look bad, so the speed of the four of them is almost the same, on the same level as Aunt Shan.
When we reached the top of the cliff, we saw a large village in the distance.
Nangong Haotian saw the architectural appearance of Dazhai and the hall behind the square. It was the Dazhai of Zhou Yuantong, the god-headed disciple that he and Xue Bing'er had seen.
At this moment, there are no lights in the hall, and there are no lanterns on the corridors, but the walls of the village are no different from before, they are still brightly lit and look prosperous.
The firelight that Aunt Shan discovered just now came from a pile of flames in front of the hall. There seemed to be human figures moving around the pile of flames, but because it was still far away, it was not clear whether there was anyone there.
The ancient head climbed to the top of the cliff and flew directly to the northwest without stopping.
Nangong Haotian was sizing up the situation in the Dazhai while flying. He found that the Dazhai was full of mysterious and strange silence compared to before.
Shangguan Xiaowan who was following him sped up slightly, came to Nangong Haotian, and asked quietly: "Have you seen the fire clearly?"
Nangong Haotian shook his head slightly and said: "I haven't seen clearly yet, but there seems to be someone next to the fire..."
Shangguan Xiaowan said: "It looks like a human being to me. That fire may be related to the burning of the village!"
"Not bad!" Nangong Haotian nodded in agreement and said, "Sister Bing'er and I were here just now. At that time, there was a banquet in the hall, and there was no fire in front of the hall!"
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Xiaowan didn't say anything else. Maybe she felt sad after hearing Xue Bing'er, but Nangong Haotian sighed. He knew that he and Xue Bing'er could never be separated again, and he could only wrong Shangguan.
Xiaowan, let her get familiar with Xue Bing'er's existence first.
At this time, everyone had arrived at another cliff, and saw that the Northeast Branch Headquarters of Zhou Yuantong, the master of the gods, was just below the cliff, but it was still far away.
The ancient head raised his hand and pointed to the pavilion behind the hall and said: "Young master, the tunnel entrance of Zhou Yuantong Hou Village, the master of Shen Toutuo, is under the third tall building!"
"Where is the exit?" Nangong Haotian nodded and asked with concern: "Where is the exit?"
Gutou Jing pointed to a plain on a cliff in the northwest and said: "The exit is in the mountain gap under that cliff, and the gap is full of rocks and snow rocks!"
"It's strange!" After finishing her words, Aunt Shan asked in confusion: "Why can't there be a single figure on the wall of the village?"
The old head replied: "The guard posts are all hidden within the walls of the village, and they may have all been ordered to evacuate now!"
After saying this, he paused, raised his hand to point to the pile of flames in front of the hall, and continued: "Here, young master, please look, those people are preparing to light the fuse of Dazhai!"
Shangguan Xiaowan and Aunt Shan almost asked: "What is the fuse?"
The ancient head explained: "The fuse is the burning fuse that starts the fire!"
Aunt Shan asked: "So if we go in and subdue those people now, will the fire stop burning?"
The ancient head shook his head and said: "No, those people are just the lure to lure us forward. As soon as we enter Dazhai, they immediately set off the line of fire. Do you know how fast the line of fire burns? In the blink of an eye, it is three to four feet!"
Aunt Shan said disapprovingly: "Are they also planning to be burned to death inside?"
"They don't want to die!" Gutou said solemnly: "As soon as the line of fire was ignited, they immediately entered the tunnel in the hall and escaped from the village!"
"Where is the exit of this tunnel?" Nangong Haotian asked.
The old man replied: "This one is connected with the two ones in the northeast and northwest!"
But Aunt Shan said anxiously: "If we don't go in, they won't light the fire, the village won't burn, and the Demon Dragon Slayer King and the others won't escape, then won't we wait in vain at the northwest tunnel?"
The old man shook his head and said: "No, even if we don't go in, they will still burn it!"
Nangong Haotian was surprised and asked: "Why is this?"
The old man replied: "Because the Demon Dragon Slayer King has made up his mind to leave, and if he falls in love with this place again, he will be killed, he urges Zhou Yuantong, the god-headed disciple, to give up the Liuzhai Tomb in this place and go with him!"
Aunt Shan couldn't help but urged anxiously: "Since the Demon Dragon Slayer King must leave, let's go quickly. If we are late, they might have run away!"
Gutou felt that it made sense, so he responded and flew northwest along the edge of the cliff.
Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Xiaowan, Liu Qianwen, Zhao Ling'er and Aunt Shan flew to follow up while paying attention to the movements and situations in the village.
The atmosphere in the village seemed to be quieter, and the four or five people beside the pile of flames seemed to be looking around. Across a plain of ice and snow, there was a deformed mountain gap of varying widths.
Gutou said with a fingertip: "Young master, the tunnel exit is down here!"
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to a cliff ten feet away and said: "That cliff is facing the tunnel exit. From a high position, we can not only monitor the ditch, but also watch the movements and movements of Dazhai and the cliff.
situation."
Nangong Haotian praised him, and walked around to the convex cliff dozens of feet away. At this time, the fire in Dazhai, where the fire started in the distance, had weakened, but the fire still illuminated the entire mountain.
Nangong Haotian pays great attention to the situation and movements of other camps, but from his current position, he cannot see the walls and houses of other camps.
Before arriving at the cliff, Gutou told everyone to find a piece of snow rock to hide themselves. Nangong Haotian hid behind a piece of snow rock that was only as high as his shoulders, and had a clear view of the situation below.
The gap in the mountain is about tens of feet deep, and it is covered with ice, snow and strange-shaped snow rocks. Thirty feet away is the arc-shaped cliff next to Dazhai.
However, Nangong Haotian looked carefully under the cliff and found no tunnel exit or cave entrance.
While looking around, I suddenly saw the old man pointing to the bottom of the cliff and saying in a low voice: "Young Master, please look, the entrance to the tunnel is under the convex rock of the cliff!"
Nangong Haotian followed the pointing and saw a convex rock about three feet away from the ground. Because it was covered with ice and snow, the state and situation of the cave entrance could no longer be seen.
Just listen to the ancient head on the side continue to say: "Normally the tunnel entrance is closed, even if there is no ice and snow, there will be no abnormality, because the cave door opens inward..."
But before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiaowan said happily: "Fortunately, there is no sign that the cave door has been opened. At least it can be confirmed that no one has used this tunnel."
The ancient head said with great confidence: "It's not that fast. The Demon Dragon Slayer King and the Godhead Tuozi Zhou Yuantong will never leave until necessary."
Nangong Haotian's mood has calmed down a lot. He has captured the Demon Dragon Slayer King, where the coffins of his father and uncle are stored, and the whereabouts of Old Valley Master Wei will be answered tonight.
At the moment of thinking, Nangong Haotian heard Aunt Shan ask: "How do you know that the Demon Dragon Slayer King will never leave unless necessary?"
The old man said: "It was Master Jiang Xiang who came to save me."
Shangguan Xiaowan asked with concern: "What did Master Jiang Xiang say?"
The old man seemed to think it would be better to start from the beginning, so he paused, sorted out his words, and said, "That's it. More than two hours ago, the Jiangxiang Master suddenly arrived at the yard where I was under house arrest and said to the guard in charge
, the commander-in-chief asked me to ask questions..."
Shangguan Xiaowan asked with concern: "Then Zhou Yuan, the master of the gods, doesn't know about it?"
Gutou replied: "After I followed Lord Jiang Xiang out, I once asked him doubtfully. He said that Zhou Yuantong, the master of Shen Toutuo, once told him that when the fire breaks out, he wants him to let me out..."
Nangong Haotian asked in confusion: "Since I have to wait until the fire breaks out before letting you go, why did it come earlier?"
The old man replied: "Because Lord Jiang Xiang was afraid that everyone would leave in a panic when the fire broke out, and he was worried that he would forget about it, so he let me out first!"
"If I really intend to let you go, if I'm afraid of forgetting, I can just tell the guards guarding you to let you out and leave together. Why should I let you out in advance?" Nangong Haotian shook his head, feeling that there seemed to be something fishy here.
The old leader said: "Many big and small leaders in the Northeast Branch were forced to come because their parents' lives were threatened. Lord Jiang Xiang was afraid that they would hold grudges against the senior leaders, so he deliberately burned me to death in prison.
Inside……"
Shangguan Xiaowan explained humbly: "Gutou, it's not that Haotian and I doubt you, but that we need to judge the enemy's situation and clarify the truth..."
The ancient head nodded repeatedly and said knowingly: "Old slave knows, because the Demon Dragon Slayer King is cunning, cunning, and very witty. Even the god-headed disciple Zhou Yuantong always said so."
Nangong Haotian nodded and praised: "As long as you know that the Demon Dragon Slayer King is cunning, you can ask Aunt Shan later. I have suffered countless losses and fallen into his traps!"
"I know this." Gutou nodded and said, "However, the relationship between Jiang Xiangzhu and me is indeed very good. He also told me privately that he wanted me to leave in the chaos later when the fire started.
, don’t follow Zhou Yuantong, the master of the gods, to Mount Tuotuo anymore!”
Aunt Shan interrupted unhappily and asked: "You've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't said that the Demon Dragon Slayer King won't set fire unless necessary!"
The old man rolled his eyes at Aunt Shan and said seriously: "I'm going to say it now."
After finishing his words, he looked at Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan, and continued: "I asked Lord Jiang Xiang when the fire would start for the village!"
